[6pack] Road trip

[glc / crc]

My wife upgraded our AAA membership to Gold Level so we have a longer towing
radius if the differential goes out again.

So, I'm heading down to central Indiana in a couple weeks for a get together
with some old friends and I'm thinking of taking the TR6.  Chicago to
Central
Indiana is only a few hundred miles each way but I haven't driven it any
significant distance for a number of years so I'm thinking I should spend
some
time making sure its up for the trip.

My list of things to check is:

- U-Joint health
- Points, plugs, timing, etc
- Belts, hoses, etc
- Oil level in the diff and tranny
- Take a look at the condition of the rear hubs

Things I know are fine
- Brakes were done recently as was the master cylinder and clutch
hydraulics.
- Radiator was cleaned and restored this past spring
- Oil was, of course, changed in spring
- Carbs are in fine shape
- Tires are fine

Been a long time since I took this car on a road trip.  What am I missing?
